Vahika also referred to as Bahika was an ancient region of Punjab centered between the Indus and the Sutlej rivers.[1] It was inhabited by various Indo-aryan tribes and kingdoms such as the Madra and Uśīnara with its main capital located in Sagala, modern day Sialkot.[2] The region has been attested to by numerous authors such as Pāṇini and Patanjali in the late Iron Age and further by Greek writers. Vahika is not to be confused with the etymologically similar sounding Bahlika also known as Vahlika which referred to Bactria, located in modern day Northern Afghanistan and Tajikistan.[3][4]

The history of the Vahika region begins in the Vedic era, where the sons of Yayati established prominent kingdoms and tribes that participated in significant events such as the Battle of the Ten Kings and the Kurukshetra War. Vahika is mentioned during this period by writers such as Pāṇini. The region is further documented during Alexander the Great's invasion in the 5th century BCE, when various tribes, including those led by Porus and the Cathaean tribe, offered substantial resistance to the Greek conquest. In the first century CE, additional details emerge from the visit of Apollonius of Tyana to Vahika, where he encountered Phraotes, the king of Taxila, who ruled over the former territory of Porus. Following the decline of the Kushan Empire in the 3rd century CE, coinage from the Shilada and Gadahara tribes are discovered, and between the 7th and 9th centuries CE, the region fell under the control of the Taank Kingdom.
